REICH, Micaela; COSTA-BALL, César Daniel y REMOR, Eduardo. Psychometric Properties of the Brief COPE in a Sample of Uruguayan Women. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.3, pp.615-636. ISSN 1794-4724. https://doi.org/10.12804/apl34.3.2016.13.
The Brief COPE (Carver, 1997) is the widely used brief version of the COPE inventory (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989), which has broadly proven to be a useful measure of coping strategies in health-related research. The Brief COPE-Spanish version (Perczek, Carver, Price, & Pozo-Kaderman, 2000) consists of 12 subscales, each of them are composed by two items. Psychometric properties of the Brief COPE Spanish version are reported, derived from a sample of 203 Uruguayan adult women. An Exploratory Factor Analysis conducted with the scale items yielded 4 factors for the current sample. The emerging factor structure was consistent with the one described by the scale’s authors. The use of the Brief COPE for research purposes in Uruguayan female populations is supported by reliability and evidences of validity obtained in the studied sample.
